MS64 possibly 65. I like the die cracks on the reverse and the strike is pretty sharp too!

This mark should drop it out of MS65 contention.

I will give it an MS62 grade. I am seeing a couple of hits on the jaw. Cool die cracks! Any chance of getting pics without the plastic?

There are some marks to be seen, but they could be dust particles on the Mylar.
There is a mark in the cheek, but same thing. It could be a mark on the Mylar.
If the Mylar is entirely to fault,
MS64.
WOW!

What a sweet coin! Wow!!

Excellent die cracks and wonderful strike!


IMO, easily an MS-64, (if the mark is on the Mylar).

That scar on the cheek below the ear is on the coin itself, but other than that it is practically blemish free. How much do you think hat drops the grade?

I'll try to get some pictures out of the 2x2 ASAP.

Thanks!

I am thinking MS-62. The mark below the ear looks severe given the relatively small size of the coin and the hardness of the alloy. I can make out more marks in the fields and possibly face which depending on the number and severity may drop it another point. I think the luster will probably keep it from grading MS-60 and maybe 61. It's not the sort of opinion that I want to give. It may grade a bit higher if the marks don't look as bad in additional pictures.

its a nice solid strike and loads of luster. I think this coin would grade in at MS63, however, the cheek hit and other issues on the profile would devalue it somewhat.
